Before you uninstall the Daedalus,  please Verify you have your wallet recovery phrase

Note: Deleting the contents of your state directory does not delete your ada. Your ada are stored on the blockchain, not on your machine.

  2. Access to Help - Daedalus Diagnostics (or press Ctrl + D)
  3. On Daedalus state directory click the path to copy
  4. Close Daedalus
  5. Go to Control Panel and select Uninstall a program
  6. Search for the corresponding instance of Daedalus and uninstall it
  7. Access the path copied on step 3 and delete it (the folder too, not only the content)
  8. Empty the recycle bin

macOS

  1. Go to Finder - Applications
  2. Search for the corresponding instance of Daedalus and move it to the trash
  3. On finder, press CMD + SHIFT + G to access "Go to folder"
  4. Paste the following path: ~/Library/Application Support/  
  5. Delete the folder corresponding to the instance you are uninstalling by moving it to trash. (i.e Daedalus Mainnet, Daedalus Flight) 
  6. Remove the icon from the dock by dragging it to the trash
  7. Empty the trash can

Linux
